(TND) — Two nationwide polls of registered voters released Sunday show Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump.
A poll conducted by the Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos found that 49 percent of respondents would vote for Harris and 45 percent for Trump if the election were held today.
President Joe Biden and Trump were tied at 46% when the same question was asked in the same poll last month.
A new CBS News/YouGov poll puts Harris ahead of Trump among likely voters nationwide, 51% to 48%.
Harris also had success in the swing states.
New polls conducted by The New York Times and Siena College in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina show Harris leading in two of these Sun Belt swing states and narrowing the gap in the others.
According to the Times/Siena poll, Harris is now ahead by 50% and 45% in Arizona.
In North Carolina – a state Trump won in 2020 – Harris leads Trump 49% to 47%.
In Nevada, Harris is only one percentage point behind, 48% to 47%.
In Georgia, Harris is four percentage points behind: Trump is at 50 percent and Harris is at 46 percent.
In the Times/Siena polls conducted in May, Trump led Biden in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada by 50% to 41%.
Times/Siena polls last week showed Harris ahead of Trump in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, the so-called “Blue Wall.”
The Cook Political Report shows six states with a truly neck-and-neck race: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The Cook Political Report shows that North Carolina leans more Republican.
